据称，残奥会和奥运会运动员奥斯卡·皮斯托瑞斯枪击女友瑞瓦·斯廷坎普的事件在世界范围内引发了强烈反应。残疾研究领域的学者对死亡本身及其对残疾表现的影响表示震惊和失望。在斯廷坎普去世后的南非，皮斯托瑞斯的批评者和辩护人都对他作为南非白人的身份发表了大量言论，但对残疾问题却鲜有提及。在这种情况下，南非对残疾作为一种可能的身份因素保持沉默，这引起了人们对残疾问题在多大程度上仍然存在深刻的种族和性别问题，并受到殖民和种族隔离过去的影响。奥斯卡·皮斯托瑞斯（Oscar Pistorius）涉嫌枪击的悲剧，让人们重新认识到交叉性对于理解南非和其他不平等社会的残疾人是多么重要。
The alleged shooting by Paralympian and Olympian athlete Oscar Pistorius of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp has led to strong reactions worldwide. Scholars in the field of disability studies have expressed shock and disappointment in response both to the death itself and to its implications for the representation of disability. In South Africa in the wake of the death of Ms Steenkamp, much has been made both by critics of Pistorius and by his defenders about his status as a white South African man, but little has been said about disability issues. This silence in South Africa about disability as a possible identity factor in this case draws attention to the extent to which disability questions remain profoundly raced and gendered, and influenced by the colonial and apartheid past. The tragic alleged shooting by Oscar Pistorius draws attention back to how important intersectionality is to understanding disability in South Africa and other unequal societies.
